There are lots of activities being uploaded to Google Classroom and you should be working your way through the tasks as and when you can. If you’d like some extra tasks, please see the links section (to the right of the home page) for various websites and there are some other tasks below.
TASK 1: Here is a useful link for ANY pupil in Ardrossan Academy from S1 through to S3. The site contains a range of informative music education videos/tasks for you to undertake at home.
TASK 2: You could also work through the tasks on http://www.musictechteacher.co.uk .
TASK 3: Here are links to websites that explain what are known as music ‘concepts’. These are key vocabulary words you need to learn as part of your music course. As a general rule pupils should learn the following key words:
S1 Pupils – You should work your way through and learn National 3 Concepts.
S2 Pupils – You should work your way through and learn National 3 and National 4 concepts.
S3 pupils – You should work your way through and learn National 3, 4 and 5 concepts. (Those who might be interested in fast tracking should take a look at the Higher concepts – remember this is a big MAYBE and depends on a lot of factors!)
All music concepts revision site:
REVISION WEBSITE – VERY GOOD! The password you’ll need is music17
If you have any instruments at home you can find music to play on your google classroom or on the Music Department Website:

Task: Here is an excellent video on ‘writing a melody’. This is useful for pupils in S3, as you will be required to compose music as part of your National 4/5 assignment work next session. If you’d like to try out some melody writing, you could download sibelius (they are offering you a 90 day free trial!). https://www.avid.com/sibelius
